  Collateral \Col*lat"er*al\, a. [LL. collateralis; col- +
     lateralis lateral. See Lateral.]
     1. Coming from, being on, or directed toward, the side; as,
        collateral pressure. ``Collateral light.'' --Shak.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. Acting in an indirect way.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              If by direct or by collateral hand
              They find us touched, we will our kingdom give . . .
              To you in satisfaction.               --Shak.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     3. Related to, but not strictly a part of, the main thing or
        matter under consideration; hence, subordinate; not chief
        or principal; as, collateral interest; collateral issues.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              That he [Attebury] was altogether in the wrong on
              the main question, and on all the collateral
              questions springing out of it, . . . is true.
                                                    --Macaulay.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     4. Tending toward the same conclusion or result as something

        [1913 Webster]
  
              Yet the attempt may give

                                                    --Wordsworth.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     5. (Genealogy) Descending from the same stock or ancestor,
        but not in the same line or branch or one from the other;
        -- opposed to lineal.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: Lineal descendants proceed one from another in a direct
           line; collateral relations spring from a common
           ancestor, but from different branches of that common
           stirps or stock. Thus the children of brothers are
           collateral relations, having different fathers, but a
           common grandfather. --Blackstone.
           [1913 Webster]

            matter allowed by law in bar of execution, as pardon,
            diversity of person, etc.
        (c) A point raised, on cross-examination, aside from the
            issue fixed by the pleadings, as to which the answer
            of the witness, when given, cannot subsequently be
            contradicted by the party asking the question.
  
     Collateral security, security for the performance of
        covenants, or the payment of money, besides the principal
        security.
  
     collateral damage, (Mil.) damage caused by a military
        operation, such as a bombing, to objects or persons not
        themselves the intended target of the attack.
        [1913 Webster +PJC]
